About Me

I'm a semi retired patent agent, but its not about that; I've been married to a beautiful woman since she was 18 and I was 21 in 1968.
My dream in life since 1953 when my dad died was to own our property again on Deadman Creek (we say "crick") and in Oct. of 2000 we were able to buy 30 acres of the place back. Now we have a cabin on the old place and go there whenever we can. And I'm doing what I can to eventually build a porch on the front, hence "Jimbo's Front Porch".
One thing I'm doing to raise funds for the building project is turning and hand carving wood crochet hooks from branch wood I collect from the ranch. Proceeds from sales go into the building fund such as it is.
Ok.. nuf about me.. I spect more will come out as this grows.

And the WINNER of the 2011 Jimbo Valentine HOOK is...

We had a grand total of 144 entries this time!! That's the most entries, I think, for any contest I've ever done! Thank you everyone who entered and who are now registered as Followers! I honestly wish I could give everyone a heart hook, you all deserve that and more... but alas, I don't have the time or the wood to do such a thing. So I must pick just one. And I did just that, by using a random number generator. The winner was number 111, and that just happens to be a lovely and talented crocheter from Merry Old England. She goes by Debsydoo in Crochetville. Congratulations Deborah! Please contact me with a mailing address.And thanks again to everyone who entered!

JimboOh, and stay tuned, please. I'll have a group of hooks up for sale very soon. I've also been taking orders, so if you have a special hook in mind, please email me with your request.
